Great Expectations
Grand Central Station, New York, October 2001
The Design Council asked us to create a major new exhibition for the UkwithNY festival, which was to raise the profile of British products and services. The venue was Grand Central Station; a place people hurry through. We wanted to stop them in their tracks. We developed the idea of a banquet around an illuminated 50 metre long table, suggesting and encouraging conversation and dialogue.
